It was coldest morning yet.
 I go out for a morning walk just before sunrise usually
but I waited until sun comes out this morning.
I expected that sun light warm up the ear little bit.

I started growing mustache during the Japan trip. 

I tried to paint same subject in totally different way sometimes. This is one of those painting. I painted same subject you can see down below. This kind of an experimental painting  give me a new idea. What more, it added to some new feeling to my artwork.

Three of my Japanese friends and I went to a seafood buffet restaurant. When I  was young I loved this type of restaurant. I thought It's like a dream that I can eat as much as I can. But now I am not young and I don't eat that much anymore. So, I haven't been all you can eat place for long time. One of my friends called me and said let's try new place. So, we did. four seniors got together and pig ourselves.

We had hot weekend. It was thunder and rain on Saturday.  It was very hot day and rain in the evening on Sunday. I think it strange weather.

J sent me a birthday card from Las Vegas. He is my old friend's friend. My friend died 1989. But his friend have been sent me card every national holiday and my birthday.

Paint small size of watercolor is not so easy. It's totally different way to paint. 

I visited my friend friday noon. We supposed to go out for lunch. But he changed his mined. We end up to a take out lunch. And I am the one who have to go to Chinese takeout place and get food. But we enjoyed that. It was good Chinese food.

A net search engine Firefox suddenly went crazy. I can't use it any more. I have no idea what happened with it. So, I start using Safari now.

I started cooking rice this morning. When I scooped a cup of rice from a rice container, I saw some dark spots inside of rice. I checked them with magnify glass, and I saw some bugs in there. How they got in the rice? I kept the rice  in a tight topped can. It’s almost impossible to get in there. I assume bugs were inside of a bag of rice before I moved some of them in the can. Anyway, not much rice left in the can. So, I spread the rice over a sheet of white paper. This way, it’s easy to see bugs. And I picked up the bugs one by one. I caught four of them. I was glade that much less bugs than I thought.

I started painting small size (6"x9") watercolor paintings for an exhibition in Japan. Reason is their are easy to handle and easy to sell. Of course, I will paint large size, too. But main thing is a small size.

I went to ukulele gathering this afternoon. We have this meeting once a week on Thursday. But I attend only once or twice a week. There is no important reason, I am just lazy. Our group perform on a little stages here and there many times. But I haven't participate it, yet. No particular reason, I am just lazy.
